Mapping social context of sustainable attitudes using stakeholder analysis with discourse analysis: Investigating the maritime sector in order to provide knowledge about future technological pathways

Maritime sectors have been notorious for their slow paced innovation efforts and although it is an efficient sector, it has big impact on the environment just because of the size of the industry (M. Rahim, et al. 2016). There is a lot of activity on the seas, changes in this sector could make a big difference when making our world become more...

Investigating the Impact of Merging Sink States on Alert-Driven Attack Graphs: The effects of merging sink states with other sink states and the core of the S-PDFA

SAGE is an unsupervised sequence learning pipeline that generates alert-driven attack graphs (AGs) without the need for prior expert knowledge about existing vulnerabilities and network topology. Using a suffix-based probabilistic deterministic finite automaton (S-PDFA), it accentuates infrequent high-severity alerts without discarding frequent...

Investigating the Impact of Sink State Merging on Alert-Driven Attack Graphs: The effects of allowing the sink states to merge with other sink states

This research paper focuses on the complex domain of alert-driven attack graphs. SAGE is a tool which generates such attack graphs (AGs) by using a suffix-based probabilistic deterministic finite automaton (S-PDFA). One of the substantial properties of this algorithm is to detect infrequent severe alerts while maintaining the context of attacks...

Heritage as part of the Palimpsest: Rethinking heritage at risk In London through an approach that is driven by the context

This research aims to develop en apply a new approach towards dealing with heritage in the built environment. By taking the Royal London Hospital area and the Former Outpatient Department within this domain as a case study, tools to connect to specific layers of the context that were found in the research are implied. This is in contrast to the...

Building Craft Centre: Revitalizing Neighborhood by Appropriating the Existing Structure of Former Leonidas Factory

The street is a complex socio-physical network that reveals various layers of life in a city: its historical setting, planning, political and economic situation, and cultural mentality. Studying such complexities of social life is important in order to understand the constantly changing identity of space. In the face of globalization, cities are...

Entrepreneurial Ecosystem influence through the Start-up life cycle: a comparative study between Delft and Vilnius

An entrepreneurial ecosystem has become a paradigm between policy makers, regional developers as well as profit seeking organizations to spur start-up establishment and growth rates. Numerous studies have focused on conceptualization of an entrepreneurial ecosystem and the potential benefits that may be accrued regionally by effectively...

Creating a Craft Culture: The Royal Academy of Fine Art's School of Textiles

Through the process of globalisation, politically and physically, we have found many cities promoting individualism through a neo-liberal modern architecture at the cost of a loss of a local identity. With its traditional heritage and rich material culture, Antwerp is taken as a testing ground for the inclusion of a contemporary structure which...

Investigating the Different Preferences of Bicycle Lane Designs Under Different Road Characteristics: A Case Study of Tirana, Albania

In this study, a context-dependent discrete choice model to investigate cyclist’s preferences on link-level cycling infrastructure design features is to investigate the extent the preferences on cycling infrastructure design is affected by the<br/>characteristics of a road segment. Stated preference experiment utilizing visual representation of...

Minimal Intervention: An Attempt Reading the Ultimate

Norway is mostly known for its natural beauty, fjords and mountains, the amazing Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun - a great intimacy with nature. However, this impression we have of Norway, does not describe the real situation in Oslo.<br/>A total length of approximately 3,400 kilometres of Oslo’s coastline is mostly covered with paved...

The Ambiguous Landscape

The countryside of Northeast Groningen (NL) is radically and silently changing. Demographic shrinkage, digitalization in agriculture and the arise of new big typologies as windturbines, datacenters and mega farms are transforming the countryside of Groningen into a desolate production landscape.<br/><br/>The research is concerned how the...

Vehicle Trajectory Prediction Using Road Structure

An autonomous vehicle should be able to operate amidst numerous other human-driven vehicles, each driving on its own trajectory. To safely navigate in such a dynamic environment, the autonomous vehicle should be able to predict trajectories of the vehicles operating in its vicinity and use these to plan its own path. Most related work uses a...

An Ensemble Approach for News Recommendation Based on Contextual Bandit Algorithms

News recommendation is a field different from traditional recommendation fields. News articles are created and deleted continuously with a very short life cycle. Users' preference is also hard to model since they can easily be attracted by things happening around them. With all those challenges, traditional recommendation approaches, such as...

The informality as a catalyst of new developments: In between top-down and bottom-up approaches of urban interventions

"To which extent the scale of the informal settlements could effectively co-exist with the necessity of an affordable mass-housing provision through a top-down intervention?"<br/>The solution proposed will try to integrate the potentialities that these two approaches embrace, during the different steps of the design process, from the urban...
